By Bob Carbert Th© Wingharn Advance-Times, Wednesday, Noy, 2nd, 1955 Page Sevi WINGHAM and DISTRICT that problem is solved, and there certainly np solution in the near future, we will continue to be faced! with surpluses, and their inevitable effect upon the price of the complete production of the product, that consumers should always order a double helping, of everything and leave h^lf of it on the plate, The world is capabre of feeding itself if we could solve the problem of distribution and repayment, Until On Parade! by “Win<Jy” The RHQ and 99th Battery of the 21st Field Regiment, RCA, held their regular Monday night training, and was in very good attendance despite Hallowe’en. We expected a few of our fellows to be out riding brooms, chasing little kids or even being hired to haunt houses. 0-0-0 The Hallowe’en pranksters were very active around the armouries. Of course, we have so many jokers in the outfit that we don’t know who did the damage, those dressed up for Hallowe’en or those dressed in uni­ form, In any case, myself and a few others have enough soap on our car windows to last us till Duz won’t do it, and a few floor mats were found on the roofs of cars. We ex­ pected WO2 “Buck" Sinnamon to get up there and wipe his feet before entering his bucket of bolts (pardon me, automobile.) 0 - 0 - o Signal training was again under the direction of Gnr. “Sad Sack” Elliott for the first part of the evening, and for the latter part they adjourned to the small arms range, where they tried their skill at the .22 rifle. Apparently we have no “Davey Crocketts” in our unit, according to Bdr. Borden Jenkins. He said the deer in the area will be safe at least another year, so put up skin hats, fellows. o - o - o All was quiet in the after the band got its out of there, which “i SURPLUSES These days the world scene is racked by rumors of surpluses of farm commodities, surpluses of food stuffs, and in some countries, surpluses of people. It would appear that distri­ bution seems to be the main problem, for there is enough to go around. While in some countries people have never been without the pangs of hunger, in Canada and the United States particularly, there are sur­ pluses of those basic foods, wheat and meat, In the States there are millions of dollars worth of surplus products stored in warehouses, public buildings, and in private storage. In Canada we have so much western wheat that we don’t know what to do with it. Ele­ vators are filled with last year’s grain and some left over from the previous year, and now the farmers are pour­ ing the 1955 crop in on top of some of the 1954 crop in their own crowd­ ed granaries. They have no market, no money and little prospects for either, for many raise only wheat and they have no other income to fall back upon. In Canada we also have a small sur­ plus of butter, although we have been able to find a market for some. We have had surpluses of cheese, and we have surpluses of pork each week, as markets surpass the consumer de­ mand. The same goes south of the border as farmers become more effi­ cient and their production per acre, per animal unit increases. Their sup­ port price program actually encourag­ ed excess production, and still does, as they guarantee farmers a parity price that is based on the cost of pro­ duction, plus a markup. As long as people are making a slight markup, and they see a constant market, they will continue to boost their produc­ tion, pointing out the evils of support prices that are established above the absolute stop loss basis. There are many ideas circulating these days, various ways and means being offered to dispose of surpluses, and cut down on production. Hog producers are being urged to watch their hog numbers, and to ship their hogs five or ten pounds lighter. Some dairy officials would favor a pool where the milk would be chan­ nelled into the market that offers the best price, and the best future. Some organizations would like to see the government go into the food business, buying up all the surpluses, storing them, and then selling them at world prices to those countries who can afford to pay. The only catch is that the world food price level is much lower than ours. As a matter of fact, it’s much lower than our cost of pro­ duction, and the taxpayers of Can­ ada, both rural and urban would have to subsidize such a program. Down in the States they are work­ ing on a plan whereby the government will rent land from farmers and pay the taxes, if the farmers agree to seed that land down and keep it OUT of production, not even graze it.
